Rapid evolution and molecular convergence in cryptorchidism-related genes associated with inherently undescended testes in mammals

BACKGROUND: The mammalian testis is an important male exocrine gland and spermatozoa-producing organ that usually lies in extra-abdominal scrotums to provide a cooler environment for spermatogenesis and sperm storage. Testicles sometimes fail to descend, leading to cryptorchidism. However, certain g...
